Visit the Blue Lagoon for a relaxing few hours

If you arrive at Keflavik Airport with hours to spare before or after our transfer, we suggest a visit to the blue lagoon (23km away and 20 mins in a taxi from the airport). Visit www.bluelagoon.com for prices and to make a booking. We recommend the restaurant at the Blue Lagoon – it really is worth a visit.

Visit Reykjavik for the day

Alternatively, visit Reykjavik via taxi or public transport. Our transfer picks up from Reykjavik so we can collect you from our designated pick up point in the city after exploring. Please let us know if you are interested in starting your transfer from Reykjavik. We shall organise a minibus to take our guests from the airport to Reykjavik if we have a sufficient number of clients interested in visiting the city (reasonably priced).

Extend your holiday in Reykjavik before or after the tour

Alternatively, book accommodation in Reykjavik before or after your tour ensuring you are able to meet our transfer bus in Reykjavik (times above). You will need to arrange your own return transfers to Reykjavik from the airport. Please visit www.kefairport.is/english/ for information about transfers to Reykjavik from Keflavik Airport.

As mentioned above, we think a visit to the http://www.bluelagoon.com is really worthwhile. The Blue Lagoon is only 20 minutes away from the airport by road and taxis are available in front of the airport terminal in connection with all incoming flights. If you want to visit the Blue Lagoon from Reykjavik, your hotel reception staff can help with private transfers.
